Plasma (new!) - high performance PPG wing

A new high performance PPG wing, extensively tested for last couple of months, finally received its official name: PLASMA.
This paraglider represents a next step in our famous line of reflex-wing series, equipping experienced pilots with yet another craft of cutting-edge performance.
As always, we put a lot of work into its passive security, so that Plasma won't be much different from ReAction in behaviour. Despite its higher aspect ratio and shorter brake travel also pilots of advanced free-flying wings won't be much troubled, only people so far flying classic (i.e. non-reflex) PPG wings will have to get used to it.
As mentioned, Plasma is destined for exceptional and demanding pilots, so it will be manufactured in short batches. In this way we will be able to collect and incorporate experiences and suggestions from its users, constantly improving already impressive wing performance. Due to such premises PLASMA will not be certified.
Currently entering production line is 26,5 qm size. Next in order will be 28 and 25 qm.

Design:
In Plasma we used many novel solutions. All of them contributed to increase in performance and comfort of flying. In order to facilitate steering the wing while at maximum speed configuration (opened trimmers and full speed-bar) we've invented our own absolutely novel system of controlling the stabilizers. Prior to grabbing miniature TST-handles (Tip Steering Toggles) pilot places the main steering handles in a special Toggle Docking Stations, equipped with strong neodymium magnets. In this way you can comfortably steer the wing via TST handles, not worrying about the brakes getting tangled.

All handles are equipped with our Easy Keeper system, implementing the strong neodymium magnets as standard.

Between the most loaded ribs we introduced some reinforcements (USS - Upper Surface Supports) that strengthen important areas and increase overall cloth durability, as well as contribute to maintaining proper wing shape in all flight conditions.
The ribs include new shape of inter-cell openings, improving internal air distribution inside the wing. The openings are located outside of the most loaded areas.
